UsingMiles is a website that manages users’ frequent flier and restaurant loyalty programs, The free service helps manage frequent flier, restaurant reward, and grocery store point programs, as well as coupons, and assists with redeeming the miles and points for airfare, hotel stays, free food, and other perks. Some 226 loyalty programs like United Airline MileagePlus, Delta SkyMiles, Marriott Rewards, Hyatt Gold Passport, Groupon, Starbucks, T.G.I. Friday's, Panera Bread, and Open Table are supported by the site.

Users can track program miles and points, which are displayed in a dashboard, and search for rewards. The site allows users to book free travel and find bonus deals for shopping or traveling.

A premier $29.99 annual membership, which users can try free for a limited time, lets customers search airline seat and hotel room availability; see how many miles, credits, or points are needed to book reward travel, and then book the trip; and receive alerts when miles and points are about to expire.

The National Museum of American Jewish History is the only museum in America purely dedicated to telling the more than 350 year history and contributions of the American Jewish people. The Museum is located at 5th & Market Streets along side Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, the National Constitution Center, and other important landmarks. Now the first floor of this impressive 100,000-square foot, five story building and its Only in America Gallery/Hall of Fame exhibit is open free to the public. This exhibit includes the lives and accomplishments of Leonard Bernstein, Albert Einstein, Barbara Streisand, Estee Lauder, Jonas Salk, Steven Spielberg, Golda Meir, and many others. We expect after viewing the first floor you will be motivated
to visit the rest of the museum including the current featured exhibit called TO BIGOTRY NO SANCTION: George Washington and Religious Freedom, featuring the first president's historic 1790 letter to the Jewish Community of Newport, R.I., affirming the nation's commitment to religious freedom in America running through September 30th.
